Fast scans and case review
If you leave the microscope behind, would you ever go back? Not many would. In a survey of 52 pathologists, 100% of them said that going digital helps reach diagnostic consensus and that they would never go back to non-digital.1 With our pathology slide scanners, the Image Management System (IMS) and a comprehensive set of software tools and capabilities, it’s easy to minimize doubt and aid confident diagnosis – fast.
What can Philips digital pathology do for you?
Our digital pathology solution enables more efficient, remote and collaborative ways of working. Pathologists have seen efficiency gains of up to 15-20% per case from making the digital transition.2 Going digital also helps reach diagnostic consensus.3 Unlocking expert second opinions drives improved diagnostic confidence so you can support making the right decisions for patients.
Open and secure image sharing
Our digital pathology solution can be used alongside with enterprise-wide IT infrastructure and AI capabilities*, allowing for cost-effective productivity and efficiency gains. For example, 35 pathology labs already use the Philips pathology solution and Ibex AI. This has been shown to result in up to 37% productivity gains for diagnosis.4
Confidence through collaboration
See what close to 400 customers and over 20 hospital pathology laboratories have learned about going fully digital with the Philips solution. It facilitates collaboration with clinical teams through remote consultation, real-time case sharing and multidisciplinary discussions.
